and then the rain came

today the rain came - finally. it rained for a short burst on sunday, about 10 minutes or so, but that's really it since sometime in mid april or so. in england. crazy times.

actually, thinking of the rain on sunday - it's funny how what you're doing affects how you exerience time. we were having this conversation at work (about rain - it was the london conversation today), and one of my colleagues said, "but it rained for ages on sunday - we were playing golf - we got drenched - it was a downpour!" whereas we were snug in the anchor having a pint with hj&f and considered it a mere cloudburst over in minutes.

it poured today, no matter what you were doing. i was working late, doing a quick desk layout change on one of our offices. as i was walking back to st pancras, the rain let up, the sun shone through, and i saw this:



then quick as anything, the sky returned to slate, thunder rumbled, and the downpour continued.

I love catching a rainbow in the middle of a storm. Makes being wet a little more satisfying :)
